The papacy claim and Christ as head of the church
Claim examined: Church authority and leadership
Scriptural Answer
It is merely an assertion of the Catholic Church that “The Catholic doctrine of the papacy is biblically-based”. We will see if this assertion is true since it is not evident that Peter had any primacy among any of the other apostles. The Bible says Jesus is the Head of the Church, NOT the pope. God says: "And He (Christ) is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things He (Christ) might have the preeminence" (Colossians 1:18). God says: "And hath put all things under His (Christ's) feet, and gave Him (Christ) to be the head over all things to the church" (Ephesians 1:22). God says: "But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into Him (Christ) in all things, which is the head, even Christ" (Ephesians 4:15). God says: "For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church" (Ephesians 5:23). Is God a respecter of persons?
